This Chlorine Test Paper provides a simple, reliable, and economical means to measure the concentration of free available chlorine in sanitizing solutions. The Chlorine Test Paper measures total available chlorine from 0-200ppm, and give results in just seconds. Total available chlorine is the sum of free available chlorine and the combined available chlorine. Our chlorine test paper is most often used to test the strength of solutions used to sanitize surfaces, for example, in the restaurant industry. In these types of applications, bleach is usually used to generate the available chlorine.

When using bleach as a cleaner, it must be diluted before use, and it will work best in the pH range of 5-7.

Instructions:

  1. Use dry fingers to remove a chlorine test paper strip from the vial.
  2. Dip the test strip into the solution to be tested, and do not agitate.
  3. Remove and compare to the color chart immediately.

NOTE: The strip will darken over time, so it is best to compare to the color chart as directed. In addition, if two strips are stuck together, the color will be darker. Lastly, if you lay the strip against the vial when comparing to the color chart, it will also darken the color. The color chart was created by holding a strip in the air next to the vial.

NOTE: If you believe that the solution contains chlorine, but the test the strip is white after dipping, you may be seeing what is referred to as the “bleaching out effect.” At high concentrations of bleach, the available chlorine will overwhelm the indicators used in the strips. If this happens, instead of developing a purple color the strip will very quickly turn to white. The best indicator of this effect is the presence of a thin blue line on the strip separating the wet portion from the dry portion of the strip.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do these strips test total chlorine or free chlorine?

The Chlorine Bleach Test Paper measures total chlorine from 10-200 ppm and gives results in just seconds.

My test strips did not work?

This is generally caused by one of two things: either the solution you are testing is outside of the range or the active ingredient is not chlorine. In solutions below the testing range such as tap water it can be below the limit of detection for this strip. This will result in no reaction when being dipped. If it is dipped in undiluted sanitizer the chlorine will ‘bleach out’ and cover up any reaction of the strip. Usually when this happens you will see a faint purple line at the top of the portion of the strip you dipped. If you test a quaternary ammonia (quat) sanitizer our strip will also not react. 

Can I use this to test pool water?

No, this product is not used for testing chlorine in a pool. It is used for testing sanitizing solutions made with bleach or chlorine tablets, and will give a reading from 10-200 ppm. This product is specifically designed for food service and restaurants, coffee shops etc.

Can I use this test for tap water?

No. These test strips are explicitly designed for assessing chlorine levels in the unique context of restaurant sanitation practices. Their formulation is optimized to meet the specific requirements of food service establishments, ensuring precise results in this particular setting. For testing tap water we recommend this test.

Do chlorine test strips expire​?

Yes, chlorine test strips expire. We print the expiry date on every bottle.
